5 weeks out stomach pains



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, so today I woke up with the worse stomach ache. I have no fever. Just a stomach ache. It feels like really bad cramps. I think I have the mirena iud so I haven't had cramps in years. Anyone else experience this? I'm starting to get worried maybe i've done damage to my new tummy. Earlier I laid in a bath and that helped while I was in there but not now that i'm out...

It's the next day the pain is gone but I feel so nauseous. I think I might go to the er soon. See if they'll do a leak test. Anybody experience these things at 5 weeks out.

Hi Vicky, How are you doing? I hope you are feeling much better now. I am almost 3 weeks out and i have not have had any stomach pain just some discomfort when i eat and the doctor said its normal because its the new tummy getting used to food. I am also going to be going the my obgyn to get the mirena so we shall see how that goes. take care, patty

Perhaps developing some lactose intolerance? I guess we can get tummy bugs just like before surgery... glad your feeling better.

I don't think it's lactose intolerance. I've been drinking milk every now and then for heartburn and feel ok afterwards. Maybe just a tummy ache. Thanks. I'll keep you up to date.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
